The next community meeting at Ingleside Station will be held on September 17, 2013. Thank you.
Back to School: As summer draws to a close, back-to-school season will be in full effect. Safety should be a priority for every family as children return to classrooms this fall. It’s crucial that all motorists understand how to safely share the roads with school buses, pedestrians and bicyclists. It’s also a good time for parents and children to talk about how to stay safe at school.
Mail Fraud Alert: Recently, an Ingleside Resident received an official looking letter in the mail claiming she had won $250,000.00 dollars from an International sweepstakes. The company “Global Processing Inc.” gave the appearance of sending the resident a check in the amount of $4,685.00 dollars to cover the processing fee when in fact the “check” was fake. The Nigerian letter is an advance fee fraud, a form of a confidence trick, which calls for the victim to try to deposit the fake check into their bank account and reimburse the company with a personal check to cover the fee. By the time the bank discovers the fake check is fraudulent, it’s too late. The victim is out $4,685.00 dollars. Be aware, the scam preys on people who are more trusting and the elderly. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The resident who received this letter found misspelled words and found it very suspicious. She then forwarded the letter to Captain Falvey, so that he may spread the word and prevent others from being a victim.
ALERT: There has been an increase in auto boosts in the area of Monterey, O’Shaughnessy and Bosworth. The break ins are occurring around the hours of 9:00am to 12:00pm. Please report any suspicious activity to the police. Do not leave valuables in your cars.
Recently, a flyer was distributed to the community regarding scams targeting the monolingual Chinese. These scams involve telling the victim that an evil spirit is following them. They will ask the victim to bring valuables to pray over as an offering to the spirit. They will return to the victim what is believed to be their valuables. They will ask the victim not to look at their valuables for a day. When the victim later checks their valuables, they find that the valuables were not returned by the suspects.
We urge all person(s) confronted with this scam to call 911 as this is a crime in progress. By contacting 911, you greatly increase the chance of catching the suspect(s) so that the police can make an arrest. If someone approaches you with this scam, decline their help, call 911 immediately and report it to the police. Be a good witness. Obtain a description of the suspect(s) and/or vehicles they are driving.

12:36am 4400 Blk Mission Robbery
An alert MUNI driver helped Ingleside police units capture a violent robbery suspect. The driver was stopped at a Red traffic light at the intersection of Mission and Excelsior Avenue when she noticed two men fighting on the sidewalk. The driver called 911 while one man punched another man forcing the victim to fall violently to the ground. Once on the ground, the suspect reached into the victim’s pants pockets and took out a wallet before running away. Ingleside officers Anderson and Cvetovac were soon on scene and broadcast a description of the suspect, while also asking dispatch for an ambulance for the victim. Other Ingleside units responded and found the suspect walking away about a block from the robbery scene. When the suspect noticed the patrol units he began running away but was quickly apprehended and arrested. While being handcuffed, the suspect dropped the victim’s wallet from one of his hands. A computer check revealed the suspect to be on active parole and on felony probation. He was taken to Ingleside station and booked for robbery and aggravated assault and other charges. The victim was transported to San Francisco General Hospital and treated for his injuries. Report Number: 130685100
1:30am Geneva/Mission Robbery
A 911 caller told dispatch that he was watching a man “getting his face stomped in” at the corner of Mission and Geneva Avenue. The caller further stated that a group of 8 to 10 people were involved and all were on skateboards. Several Ingleside units responded and detained several subjects attempting to walk away in different directions. However, the officers initially could not find a victim until a man approached them with lacerations on his face. He told the officers he was sitting at the bus stop waiting for a bus when someone grabbed him from behind and threw him to the ground. While on the ground, several suspects kicked him. While Ingleside Officer Carrasco was talking to the victim and waiting for medical help, another man walked up and told him, “I was just robbed”. The second victim told Officer Carrasco that he witnessed the first assault and tried to stop the attack. But when he grabbed one of the suspect’s arms, the group then turned and attacked him stealing his cell phone during the assault. He ran away until he saw police in the area. One of the suspects detained in the attack had his cell phone in his pocket. He was booked for robbery and other crimes. The other subjects were released. Both victims were transported to the hospital and treated for their injuries. Report Number: 130685235
